I saw the opening and it referenced Player Unknown's Battle Grounds.
I mean referencing some game that has early access and not really released yet. The game must be that good, too bad for Keita to be head shot though. The series is actually better than I expected too. |

While I admire Amano for his not having any fucks to give on how and what people see him as, he really needs to learn not to be so oblivious to everything else. Gaming and general nerd culture isn't exactly the socially outcasted activity is may once was, at least not outside of Japan. Considering how gamers from casuals to pros earn a nice living and are considered bigger than fucking rock stars in some countries, I will as usually never fully understand why Japanese culture seems to still put a social stigma on it.
That said goddammit Amano you scrublord, one does not simply play Narukami "Swagmuffin" Yu and lose. To Teddy of all people.

It was fair for Amano to say that he only played game for fun, but shouldn't he communicate that clearly to the other party before he refused the offer? well, in a sense I can see that our MC is a flawed character, but that can be a plus if handled properly. Also, like some have mentioned, I can respect our MC to stand by his decision, at least he wasn't a complete sucker , he was like: "Hey, I'm not gonna change my mind just because you ask me gurl!" hahaha

Liking so far. I enjoyed the relationship between the main hero and heroine, but seriously Tasuku and Aguri are just adorable. I get the feeling he's going to gradually grow slightly distant from the "in" crowd he's hanging with right now. He's already jaded about these people even if he's afraid to go back to what he was. But in Amano he's found someone who's happy to be what he is who will I'm sure make a good friend, and now he has further proof that the people who really matter will and do like him for himself, and would not mind at all if he remained what he once was.
Bonus for Karen's breakdown. That lovestruck, drooling, brainless grin at the end was at once hilarious and adorable. |

Episode 3:
I kinda like Chiaki tbh. She's cute but I do hope she grows more confident around certain people. Her interactions with Amano is priceless so far. Now I kinda get why this show has 'misunderstanding' as part of its premise. I mean, that last scene from this week's episode.... Also, is it just me or does Tendou feel kinda like a side character so far? (from these past two episodes at least)

Poor Tendou, she's supposed to be a main character right? She's getting shoved aside lately.
Ahh, the bonding between Chiaki and Amano were great though, so is the argument. Gotta agree with Chiaki though, gameplay and story all the way.

That escalated pretty fast. I bet that's not a misunderstanding in the long run. He was wondering why he was still with his current girlfriend, now he found a replacement.

wow this anime is really doing something so far, basically the guy getting the "harem route" is the "school male friend" which normally is the most "loner" than the mc and less interested in girls, but somehow he is being the one raising flags, lol, let's see where things are going, but for sure i really not fan of mc cowardice specially due to games and his "poor reason" to not join the club, because even themselfs don't believe on they own reasons to not join.

As for "harem-building", I don't think we can really call it that so far. One girl is absolutely dedicated to Keita. One is dating Tasuku, and one is in between, attracted to Tasuku but not really knowing him at all (I think Keita wasn't all that far off comparing it to a guy's response to moe girls), while at the same time great friends with Keita and relating very well with him. I get the feelings some more things might shake up. I'm seriously hoping that Chiaki gets over her minor attraction as well as her minor difference in opinion. Don't know whether I want her to become the main love interest, but I definitely want her to be a love interest of Keita's. |

even his friend hotguy is the "generic friend" which instead of proper help him improve his relationship with the main girl what is his advice???, when you have a girl interested in your and maybe you also is interested on her but is too shy??? go flirt with other girl!!???? this is this most stupid romantic advice i can see someone pulling, like his friend just want to see the mess even grow, because he want to see a romcom which is something which happen on a lot of that serie where friends instead of actually trying to help or they don't do any help or trying to make things even worse like or advice mc goes for others girls or advice others girls to go for mc to enforce the harem thing. about the harem i was playing around, so far i like what i'm getting and honestly hope "no real harem here" because so far is more interesting in that way, than the serie just turn into your "generic looser" magnetic chicken mc serie, which start to attract every chicken but due to being the "looser pathetic" can't accept any and all that cliche generic thing which novel and anime market already satured , i would prefer even no romance and things keep like that on a lot of missunderstood and weird situations like that which could be really fun and "original" which nowadays is a big issue in japan to be "original", only few writers are trying on that path and due to "otakus" tastes even among that "few" only few of then are being sucessfull which is true sad.

But then, that might just be my impression after seeing this done frequently with people who spout words like "unoriginal" too much. There are plenty of stories that on some levels use tropes that are considered overused these days, but beyond these actually manages to be very entertaining, interesting, and even sometimes quite original, but I still tend to see with any series that contains those tropes several people start to say "Oh, it's just another one of those X series" and thus dismissing the whole on account of an aspect of the setting, preemptively deciding that there can't be anything original in a story with that trope. Heck, I've seen people write long diatribes about videos that are full of interesting and unique content, claiming that they really boiled down to an unoriginal pile of moe trash that is entirely dependent on the audience liking the cuteness of the heroine, going so far as to insist that if the story didn't have a cute heroine people wouldn't have anything positive to say about it at all. I'm sort of the polar opposite of that; I go into a series looking for something to like, something to find worth and originality in, and if I find something, even if it's not really big, I tend to consider it worth watching or reading. As far as harem, I honestly don't see anything to suggest the slightest possibility of this. The character set just doesn't fit. Triangle will probably happen, with Chiaki getting over her anger and her excessive hate of moe in order to develop feelings for Keita, at which point we'll likely have a belligerent, on-and-off, maybe even tsundere love interest. However, we've only been given three girls and it's already been established that both boys have romantic potential, so if anything we'll likely see a love triangle, some suspicions and misunderstandings, etc. And yeah, while I seriously want Aguri to come to like Keita and view him as a really great guy, that's still only in a friend manner; she's too great with Tasuku to mess that up, and there's nothing wrong with a girl recognizing another boy's value as a person or even qualities that would make him a good boyfriend and still remain faithful. So yeah, I'm expecting a lot of people thinking the person they love is in a relationship with someone else or is cheating if they're already dating, but ultimately it'll still be one triangle and one pair. |

Ep. 3: OK, that's an amazing amount of misunderstanding for so few characters. I am impressed. And while the displays of emotion are exaggerated to parody, the actual nature of the misunderstandings is entirely plausible. I can easily see those things happening.

for me a good serie is not the one just "pandering" A or B or puting A or B in priority but one which try to entertaing many peoples as possible. well every person with they own tastes, so far things looks funny, the mc have really weird issues, i just don't want see a "potential serie" being wasted on another generic x that is all.

Hilarious desu desu~ "ehh you like hot guys but you reject moe?", lool okey this MC is hilarious all the chapter and the bullying to tendou added the plus.
But I'm surprise that "mono" didn't fall for amano first thing and went to uehara instead, I'm pretty sure it's going to change when mono knows that amano it's his partner in grandblue and well can't blame aguri for the misunderstandings, so let's go with aguri and amano bonding now. |
